Lipo ma usually gets secondarily infected many a times you need to use an antibiotic first and then has to be removed at the earliest
It is easier to deal with a lipoma when it is not infected once infected it is very difficult to to remove but it has to be removed at any cost as it may trouble you again and again
Next Steps
approach and dermatologist use an antibiotic and get the surgery done
